Details of Incident / Close Call:

Common flat tire was changed. The next morning the lug nuts were re-torque. That night while driving to another location for work, the convoy of vehicles stopped for a break. Bill noticed the lugs were loose and in some cases almost off! The lugs were re-torque and no injury occurred.

Learnings and Suggestions:

After a flat tire the lugs need to be checked often, not just visual, but with a tire iron!
